(62,325 posts)which is why they take their business to Third World Countries where they don't have to worry about it. Are you recommending the same standard for the US as they have in Third World Countries?
Here's my solution. Take away all subsidies and tax breaks from Corporations that outsource their work to Third World Countries, UNLESS they work under the same labor laws, income salaries, they are trying to escape here.
Then set a standard for what is considered to be a LIVING wage. The minimum wage is NOT a livable wage.
If they don't like our laws and decide to move altogether then tax their products if they still want to sell them here.
Crack down on the wealthy who keep their money out of this economy, keeping it in offshore accounts. These people deserve no consideration, no benefits such as subsidies and tax breaks. They do not care one bit about this country.
Reward Corporations that keep their business here and are not hiding their money in offshore accounts.
One thing is certain, all statistics show that since this country adapted predatory capitalism as a system, it has FAILED.
One in six American children go to bed hungry every night in this country.
As the OP states, it is a SHAME.
